She said:That is so weird, because being I was the person in Admin. that was in charge of Accident and Damaged Rental Cars, when I would take my Camera and go out every Morning and Evening to do my paperwork, there would be Rabbits running around all over the place. A lot of Baby Rabbits too. My Mechanic would find them sometimes under the Hood, hiding there to keep warm, but I remember him telling me he found a lot of wires that were chewed!

What's more interesting is the lease on the demonic blue horse is up this year.....IIRC Denver paid $650,000 to have that thing for 5 years and the artist was killed when a piece of it broke off while he was working on it. It's now valued at $2 million and the city has to decide if they want to keep it.

Wait, Denver leases it? Why on earth didn't they just buy it initially?

I just looked up some news on it.....maybe I'm wrong about it being a lease but according to one article " Denver Commission of Cultural Affairs has a rule that public art must remain in place for five years before petitions can be filed to remove it."

Also, there's a law that says that 1% of capital construction funds must be spent on art and since the airport cost $4.8 billion they had to spend $48 million on "art"......when you have that much money to spend I suspect it's easy to waste a bit of it.

It's pretty mind boggling to think that there's $48 million worth of art in the Denver airport. I've flown out of there a number of times and the horse statue is the only piece of art I even remember.

Came here to mention that as a mechanic, I see a lot of this in the winter, usually at least one customer a week, at least. (I'm in MI). After driving to your destination, your motor is still warm for several hours and critters will crawl into your engine compartment to stay warm. It's not an uncommon sight to see an air filter housing filled with stored rations. I have seen engine compartments also covered with critters that didn't get out in time before the motor was started. I think the worse was a guy who stored his Porsche in his garage for the winter and come spring, there had been something living in it and had destroyed three different wiring harnesses, the bill was near $10K.

I also once popped a hood and there was a kitten covered in icicles sitting there, alive though barely. I called the owner and described the kitten and he said that it sounded like a stray he had seen around his garage; the cat was lucky- the client had just drive 200+ plus miles before dropping his car for service. One inch to the side and motor would have been covered with fur and kitten parts. I put some rags down in the top of my tool box and placed the kitten there where it stayed all day, warming up. I kept giving it water and pieces of ham and cheese from my sandwich I had brought for lunch. By quitting time, I had the cat purring, though she was sick for a few weeks.

That was over five years ago, today "Fenderbomb" still likes to sleep on my pillow next to me at night.
